    Yeah, but critics always have to say shit films are good and good films are shit; that way we keep thinking they’ve got some amazing insight that’s worth them being paid oodles of cash. If they said good films were good and shit films were shit we’d all be like “no shit Sherlock” and kick them unpaid out of the building.

    Meet Joe Black. I’ve watch it far too many times. Love the acting, pacing the mystery and weirdness of ‘Death’ Falling in love. The hospital scenes are just a masteclass acting by the old lady.

    Constantine. I’ve seen it dozens of times and it never gets old. Tilda Swinton as Gabriel and Peter Stormare as Satan are a big part of why.

    I filtered in IMDb movies where I have voted 7+ while user rating is up to 6 and these jumped out seemingly panned by both critics and users.

    1. Gods of Egypt. Visually great, standard action story, don’t get the dislike at all.
    2. Tremors 4: The Legend Begins. I have watched most Tremors movies, have given them 6+. The one I disliked most was Tremors: Shrieker Island which I have rated 3.
    3. Iron Sky. Do not remember a single thing, but it looks fun. Probably will rematch soon.

    Freddy got fingered is the most notorious example of a movie with very funny/memorable scenes that got hated.

    Palm Springs should have had best movie oscar, much less nominated, is my biggest pet peave.

    There’s lots of them but one that hasn’t been mentioned is Sucker Punch. It’s 6.1 on IMDB and 22% on Rotten Tomatoes and I loved the visuals.

    Also, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is terrible but everyone needs to watch the opening sequence

    Van Wilder

    Soundtrack is incredible, it’s one of Tara Reid’s best roles, the cast is absolutely stacked, and IMO it’s basically Deadpool without the costume. It’s Ryan Reynolds best movie to date, and if he doesn’t return for a second (the sequel doesn’t exist) his career afterwards is ultimately pointless.

    Prometheus. I don’t care how stupid the plot is, and how many holes it has. Its aesthetics are (for the most part) excellent in a way that tickles my brain. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t like it as much the second time though (especially since I saw it in a theater)

    Dude Where’s My Car?

    Nothing spectacular but I thought it was pretty funny. I still remember laughing my ass off at individual scenes. I read ten or eleven reviews of it, and all of them except one said it was the worst movie they had ever seen. Not just bad - the WORST movie they’d EVER seen. Wat?

    Deathstalker 1 & 2, although the second is far superior.

    It’s completely tone deaf by any standards, let alone modern ones. Watch as a gang rape is interrupted and turned into what can only be described as a “heroic sexual assault”.

    The second swaps out the main actor for a much funnier one, and has probably the catchiest out-of-place theme tune of any movie.

    You know you’re watching a terrible movie, but they breeze along and you can’t help but be entertained by it.
